I got to say "Thank you!"
First, I want to apologize for not posting sooner. I have been a little busy, these days.
A very good friend of mine owns a place in the local mall that sells those yummy cinnamon roasted pecans and almonds. I worked there in the past, before the bookstore, and this is where I had my life changing encounter with the man that “saved my life.” You see this goes back to my depression and deliverance. After Eli stopped and prayed with me, that day, I did not know if he was a real man or an angel. I never saw him again. I have often wanted to give him a hug and thank him for not only saving my life, but leading me back to God, where I know I am protected and safe.
Well, I am getting ahead of myself, which is what happens when I am tired. LOL! My friend called me about a month ago, and asked if I would like to work for her a couple days a week, through the Christmas holidays. This both helps her out, and helps out my family, with extra money for gifts.
The other day, I was working, and we were very busy. I looked up, and Eli was walking by. I stopped him and asked him if his name was Eli De La Garza. He looked surprised, but said yes. I started crying. I hugged him and thanked him for saving my life. He did not remember me at first, but it did not take long, once I started sharing my story. It was a very touching reunion. I finally got to thank him for saving my life, by saving my soul, and keeping me from committing suicide.
Thank you, God, for sending Eli that day, and thank you, Eli, for listening to God’s will. God bless you!
